TL;DR: The photochemical decomposition of pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene, as adsorbates deposited from the vapor phase, has been examined on eight coal stack ashes of diverse origin and properties and the apparent acidity of ash surfaces does not appear to be related to the rate of phototransformation of adsorbed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

TL;DR: A review of analytical applications of matrix isolation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is presented in this paper, along with practical techniques for obtaining analytically useful results, and a few studies relating to matrix isolation used in conjunction with Raman and conventional IR Spectroscopy are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed description of a system for gas chromatographic (GC) detection of matrix isolation Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry is presented, and applications of the technique to identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon constituents of coal-derived materials are demonstrated, and quantitative aspects of the procedure are considered.

TL;DR: The results of experiments designed to study the infrared spectra of transient species produced by ultraviolet photolysis of acetaldehyde are reported and analyzed in this article, and the consequences of poor control are described and a qualitative explanation is offered.

TL;DR: In this paper, a matrix isolation Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) was used to characterize pure compounds isolated in nitrogen matrices and subsequently to identify individual components in mixtures.
